Chorizo and Eggs

What is Chorizo con Huevo?

Chorizo con huevo was one of my family's go-to breakfasts growing up. This Mexican breakfast staple consists of chorizo, a type of ground sausage that's seasoned with paprika, vinegar, and chili peppers, and scrambled with eggs. Chorizo and eggs can be made in less than 5 minutes and is often served with refried beans and corn or flour tortillas on the side. The scrambled eggs with chorizo and also be used as a filling for breakfast tacos, which can be easily wrapped in aluminum foil for an on-the-go breakfast.

Ingredients You'll Need

• Mexican Chorizo - Chorizo is typically sold uncooked in chubs or links. While pork chorizo is the most popular, there are many varieties, such as beef and soy chorizo. (Here's something funny: In Spanish, "Soy chorizo" translates to "I am chorizo", so many people think the package is chorizo introducing itself!)
• Eggs - I use 2 large eggs per person, but you can use more or less, or different sizes, based on your family's preference.
• Vegetable Oil - While chorizo can be oily on its own, I recommend using a drizzle of oil to avoid the egg sticking to the pan when scrambling.
• Your Choice of Tortillas - While I used the delicious flour tortillas from the HEB Bakery, you can use any type of flour or corn tortillas, both of which are available at most grocery stores.
